From inside the courtroom:

Rebee, LaToya, and Janet all stood up in the front row and left the courtroom in unison as the DA began his rebuttal.

[scott7278]

They'll either find him guilty or not guilty, or there may be a hung jury.

[cweese]

I think he'll be convicted.

[RightWhale]

Society on trial.

[konaice]

Rebee, LaToya, and Janet all stood up in the front row and left the courtroom in unison

So that's what they think this is? A political event?

How out of touch is that whole family?

[sarasota]

How's the defendant holding up? Any hospital visits today?

"... and so, Jurors, you shall now retire to the anteroom and make your decisions regarding the innocence or guilt of this pervy defendant."

[Fierce Allegiance]

I bet guilty

[IMissPresidentReagan]

My prediction based on the little knowledge I have; I believe the jury *may* convict on the alcohol to a minor charge but not others. However I think both sides screwed up, but they also scored needed points. If a juror wants to find reasonable doubt; I think he/she can justify it based on the case; but I also think a conviction can be justified based on the evidence. This was far from an open/shut case, especially with the prosecutorial mistakes that occurred. It'll be interesting to see how long deliberations will last.

Does anyone know the make-up of the jury (age/gender/etc.?)

Good thing Justin Timberlake wasn't present.

There goes Michael to wait for his future.

Do you think this will be a fast verdict?!

[DumpsterDiver]

Rebee, LaToya, and Janet all stood up in the front row and left the courtroom in unison as the DA began his rebuttal.

Now that's just rude.

I predict Michael will be found guilty of providing booze to a minor and walk on the rest.

(In the past, I have incorrectly guessed the verdicts of "celebrity" trials. We shall see how this one goes.)

They have left for the nearest bar to "drown their sorrows" at the loss of their "gravy train"!

While I don't have much faith in California and its juries..., M. Jackson is a serial pedophile whose MONEY has kept him out of prison for decades through "out-of-court" settlements!

The prison population has a certain "fondness" for pedophiles. Hopefully, Jackson will be given the opportunity to experience such "fondness" soon!

[ArmedNReady]

He's guilty but he will be acquitted because of sloppy work by the DA.

However, I don't think Jackson will live much longer. He'll either commit suicide or he will become so sick from the stress that he gets sick and dies. I give him a year, two at the tops.....He's already losing weight since he hasn't been getting his protein drinks from the little boys.

[linkinpunk]

Has a black juror given MJ the 'black power' salute yet?

[Petronski]

I feel exactly as I did when the Simpson criminal jury took the case: he's obviously guilty, and he's going to walk.


I actually won a case of beer in a bet with a buddy. What will be the result of the OJ trial? Everyone gave their predictions, and I said "he's going to walk. No doubt." They thought I'd lost my mind.

[catonsville]

Hung Jury with most jurors wanting to convict. One befuddled old lady holdout screws the prosecutions case.

[Political Junkie Too]

Rebee, LaToya, and Janet all stood up in the front row and left the courtroom in unison as the DA began his rebuttal.

Were they wearing pins with Michael's picture on it? That would be grounds to overturn any conviction these days.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Guilty, going to jail. 15 years.

[JohnBDay]

Personally I believe he's guilty, but I don't think it was proven beyond a resonable doubt.

[kidd]

I predict that Micheal Jackson will get off.

What the jury decides is another story...
